I'm just sitting back shaking my head over the price of fuel. Most diesel in Scarborough is 98.9. Work trucks don't get fuel mileage, they just drink.
This evening I spoke with one of the Crockford locals & it looks like he's going to give me a Pinto wagon. If it's worth fixing, I just might paint it a nice shade of Focus blue & stick a happy face on the gas tank door.
Ahhh, life in the fast lane !!!!!!!!!

Last I checked our diesel price was in the $.90-91 range, so that means ours will be up soon.

 

May be a BullsEye on the gas tank would be more appropriate?, after all it is a Pinto!
Funny thing is, I am starting to see more of these Pinto's lately at cruise nites and swap meets. At Ancaster I spotted one with panels over the rear window to give that delivery sedan look. Do you remember the Pinto Wagon with the Rainbow stripe and the bubble porthole window in the back? Ahh the 70's it was all about glitter! They made a similar version of the F150 with the goofy rainbow stripe. Maybe the Pinto will be showing up on Barrett-Jackson stage in the years to come!( along with the Pacer of course!! )

As fo me, I think its time to blow the cobwebs off of the Falcon and park the truck for a while.
I do like grrl's wisdom, if I throw a small car in the back of my truck the mileage should average out right? Funny, I can't see the opposite, but it might be fun puting an F100 on a Toyota Echo?!

Using that logic Frank, might as well put 2, 3, or more Echoes in the back!

 

Well go figure.......It's already blue. It had better be a fair to decent runner because there's several holes that need filling. Then there's the clutch??????
`Tis the season to get into a project I guess.
Just thinking out loud here........Blue Pinto parked beside a Blue Fairlane. It would be so family like to see them both being fixed by the same welder. Doesn't that sound like an old guy's photo op. to you?
Well, I'm off to roll pennies.

P.S. Frank......................Bullseye????? How's your back bumper?

 

Ouch! kick a guy right where it hurts! But since you ask......I took a look at the aftermarket bumpers available and they are, IMHO, tin junk. So I took the cash and am now hunting for a real Ford Step bumper. I think I'll post a want add.
